Functional Anatomy
What is meant by the terms agonist/antagonist in reference to muscles.
Agonist - the muscle responsible for the movement
Antagonist - the muscle which relaxes to allow the movement to occur
If you wanted to train within the anaerobic training zone, you would be required to work at an intensity of:
85-100% max HR
Contact forces are those that act on objects that come into direct contact with one another. Which one of the following is not a contact force?
A. Air resistance
B. Water resistance
C. Friction
D. Gravity
D. Gravity
Complex skills are actions or movement patterns that cannot be readily learned by the imitation or demonstration/explanation/practice/correction methods. Which of the following coaching methods would be best suited to learning a complex skill?
Chaining/Shaping
Identify what the ‘T’ stands for in the SMART principle.
A. Timely
B. Training
C. Technique
D. Target
A. Timely
WHAT ARE THE THREE TYPES OF MUSCULAR CONTRACTIONS?
Isometric
Concentric
Eccentric
What are the 5 principles of training?
Specificity
Intensity
Duration
Frequency
Progressive Overload
What are the 2 types of forces and give an example for each?
Internal - Muscles & tendons
External - Gravity
What are 3 roles & responsibilities of a coach?
Organising
Providing Feedback
Building Rapport
What are the 2 types of goals that can be used in goal setting?
Outcome Goal
Performance Goal
WHAT TYPE OF MUSCLE CONTRACTION OCCURS IN THE ABDOMINALS WHEN PERFORMING A SIT-UP (UPWARD PHASE)?
Concentric
State one (1) similarity and one (1) difference between the energy demands of a 5km long-distance runner and a 100m sprinter.
Similarity
Difference
Explain how force is produced.
What is meant by the term "autocratic"?
relating to a ruler who has absolute power.
How does age influence the goals set by the coach?
Younger performers respond better to short term goals which are achievable.
Explain the difference between origin and insertion points
(Extra 300 points if you can identify the origin and insertion points of the gastrocnemius)
Origin:
The origin of a muscle is the attachment onto the bone that does not move when the muscle contracts.
Insertion:
The insertion is attached to the bone which moves more when the muscle contracts.
Bonus:
Origin (where the muscle starts)
- Medial and lateral sides of the femur
Insertion
- Calcaneus
Identify 1 fitness test to measure the capacities of both the aerobic and anaerobic energy systems.
Aerobic: yoyo or beep test
Anaerobic: vertical jump or 30m sprint
What are the 5 phases when using Qualitative Analysis to improve performance?
1. Preparation
2. Observation
3. Diagnosis
4. Intervention
5. Re-observation
Leaders adapt their style to suit the needs of the situation. Name the most appropriate leadership style for the following situations and provide why you made that choice.
a) The captain of a professional team approaches the coach of the team, expressing the view that there is a need to change the game plan after a series of losses.
b) A group of primary school-aged students are training to play their first team sport.
a) democratic
b) autocratic
When providing feedback, what do we need to be doing in order to keep athletes motivated whilst also challenging them.
Use the feedback sandwich
What is the movement performed at each key joint for the following actions?
Tennis Backhand - elbow
Tennis Backhand - shoulder
Overarm throw - elbow
Overarm throw - shoulder
Elbow - extension
Shoulder - abduction
Elbow - extension
Shoulder - flexion
For each of the energy systems, identify a moment in a soccer match when that system would be most active. State one reason for each to support your response.
ATP-PC - goalkeeper diving to make a save or striker sprinting onto a through pass etc. These are highest intensity/explosive movements that need fast release of energy from CP.
Lactic Acid - defender is making repeated high intensity efforts to mark their player, or midfielder goes on a long run to carry the ball from defence up to attack. These are high intensity and repeated movements that need quick energy but can last for longer than 10 seconds.
Aerobic - walking to get into a new position while the ball is away from the immediate vicinity. This is low intensity movement so is aerobic
In order to absorb forces safely, our body and equipment are required to do what 3 things?
1. increase time over which force is applied
2. increase the area the force is applied to
3. redirect or distribute the force
What is meant by part and whole coaching strategy?
Part - a skill is broken down into smaller parts
Whole - a skill is practised in its entirety
The two lowest teams receive 500 points!!!
